4. A Man Gets Back Up Again

In the final act, Danny Glover's wounded detective gets another chance at saving the day. This is a guy who has had his throat opened by very sharp blade and whose partner got his blown off during the investigation. This is a man who has taken his share of beatings from life. But what does he do? He plants himself across the street from his No. 1 suspect and does not give up (albeit to the detriment of most other elements of his life). And when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan, he springs into action and saves a woman and child. That's what a man does when the going gets tough. A tough individual can take some hits and get back up off the mat like Detective Tapp. As we go through life (hopefully with less pain than this poor man), we need to make sure it takes more than one bad break to keep us down. The true test of whether you have what it takes is go through life is your mettle and your ability to get back up.
